What is the 30dayMapChallenge?
My results 🎉
The idea is to make 30 maps from each day from 1st Nov to 30th Nov 2020. I hope to get about half done - so 15 maps.
I want to use this challenge to play around with different R packages for geospatial data and try out different ways of interactive visualizations.
Day 1: Points
Amount of cars in XHain mapped as points onto streets
There are 80.808 cars registered in Berlin (2017).
If all cars would start driving at the same time - it’d get pretty crowded 🚗🚗 🚗
The polygon of the streets are derived as a ‘negative’ from the official blocks provided by the Geoportal Berlin. Points to represent cars are sampled randomly within the polygon.
Data:
- Amount of cars via kleine Anfragen
- Polygon of streets derived from Geoportal Berlin ‘Blockkarte 1:5000 (ISU5)’
Tools & Packages:
Day 2: Lines
All domestic German flights 2019
About 10% of all flights from German airports are domestic flights - so starting in Germany and landing in Germany.
The amount of flights between German airports are mapped here:
